Proper care and maintenance of your hearing aids ensures the best performance quality and prolongs the life of your hearing instruments.
Cleaning
Clean your hearing aids every day. Use a soft cloth, tissue or special hearing aid brush to wipe the outside. Never use alcohol or cleansers. They harm the internal components and circuitry.
Use a dehumidifier kit regularly to prevent moisture from entering the hearing aids and damaging the components.
Use a wax loop or brush to remove ear wax and other debris. Never use a straight pin or other sharp object to clean wax from your hearing aids.
Replace behind-the-ear earmolds when they become dry, cracked, stiff or discolored.
Storing
Open the battery door when the hearing aid is not in use. Store it in a cool, dry place.
Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove compartment or dashboard).
Care
Do not get hearing aids wet. Remove hearing aids when swimming, showering, perspiring, etc.
Do not use hair care products while wearing hearing aids.
Take your hearing aids to your hearing healthcare professional for regular servicing and performance checks.
Avoid dropping or banging your hearing aid on hard surfaces.
Batteries
Store batteries in a dry, safe location away from children and pets.
